Haha, 26mpg in the WRX. 14 in Z71 16 for F-150. Not bad...but how about a Goped like that "Faggio" in Vice City. I bet that goes super far on the tank of gas! hahhaa

Hmm...well since it takes 3.9 liters to make up a gallon, in good ol Mexico that would mean about 26 pesos. 10 pesos to the dollar....about $2.60 for a gallon of gas

Premium is up to $2.05 here in Milwaukee just in time for the labor day weekend, HMMMM???? I wonder if that happened on purpose? Nah our government would never do that to it's own people! Its not like any polititians have any special interests with the oil Barrons. Ever since the deregulation of the industry the prices fluctuate at will. I could see jacking up the price after the tanks at the stations run dry, but to raise and charge .20 to .30 cents more for what has already been delivered is highway robbery!!! What really sucks is having to reinstall your factory tuning just to be able to drive!

I was just getting ready to post a new thread on this...

Luckily, I've been driving the Saturn lately (gets about 27-30 mpg). I decided to treat the ol' girl right and run a tank of 93 through her. I think that I paid about $1.79 or so for it, maybe $1.85.

On the way home from work last night, I noticed that the price at that same station was $1.97 a gallon! WTF? I've never seen gas so expensive!

A station here in town is

87 - $2.19
89 - $2.29
91 - $2.39

I drive 160 miles a day to work and back. I have a choice of either the SS or a new 2003 Avalanche Z71. Niether is that good on gas, OK, they suck. I am going to be buying a commuter car here real soon.
